I feel like a badass. I walk extra fast near the end if nobody is in front of me (or right behind me) and slam my feet down. POW! (The best is when the metal grate at the end is loose - extra loud.) It's like I'm Barry Sanders and I've gotta think about switching directions on a dime, then decide to just charge straight ahead anyways.

My parents are here to visit, dad was telling me that mum (false hip and alzhiemers) was struggling to get on the escalator (blocking everyone) and everyone was very patient and polite. I said as long as you stand on the right you'll be fine, otherwise people will rip you to shreds. Ah London.

I used to do the same thing when i'd get off the bus at the mall every day after work, except while i was going down i would put my sleeves over my hands and slide down, only touching the ground a couple times.

This is exactly what it made me think of. Perfect example of the difference between negative and positive reinforcement. Don't make people feel like shit about not exercising. Make people feel good about exercising. Big difference.

Seriously. For 99% of human history man was forced to walk up any incline he came up against. Now we have triumphed over nature and I'll be damned if I'm not going to live the dreams of my forefathers.

Wikipedia actually has some really dumb rules when it comes to their articles. Wikipedia's goal is 'verifyability' but not by a first or second party as opposed to facts.

Say for example I'm famous and my wiki article doesn't say my birth date. I edit it and say the correct one, Wikipedia doesn't consider that a valid source and it will be reverted (even if I provided all the evidence in the world that I am who I am). Say a well known publisher then writes an article with an incorrect birthdate, that will be accepted because it is 'verifyable'.

There's a really good hypercritical podcast about Wikipedia and how dumb it's methods can be.

Personally I think there should be a bot moderator that suspends accounts that repost stuff in this section for about a week.

If you can't take the minute or so to check if its a repost, then you should be penalised for it. It will cut down on the junk that gets posted. If people want to whine about "missing hilarious reposts", then create a subreddit where popular funny gifs/pics can be reposted there over and over for people that don't use reddit all the time.

There needs to be a heavier stance on moderating some subreddits. The only issue here is I have never heard of a well moderated subreddit, only poorly moderated ones where you have some stupid moderators.

It's like saying every television station should be mostly reruns all day, every day just to accommodate this one guy who hasn't seen that one episode of Seinfeld from 20 years ago. TV should be incredibly shitty for the people who really love TV and watch it all the time just to make sure that a casual TV watcher gets to see every single show ever made.

If I were with my dad, this would make me very upset. He has parkinson's and due to that, exercise is hard for him to begin with AND because of decreased dopamine levels, he's been building up fat in all the stress related areas.

Disabilities aside though, the emerging work on the obesity epidemic paints it as anything but a simple fight of willpower. Whether we'll ignore the emerging evidence that a diet is about as hard to stick to as kicking a smoking addiction will depend on how much we're committed to mocking fat people.

Quit being a suck. Everyone knows there are some people out there with disabilities who have legitimate reasons to use escalators. Everyone also knows there are plenty of fatties who are fat in part because they're lazy and stand on escalators and do other things like that instead of exercising. This is making fun of the latter, not the former.

Yeah, but they used to put them up at my school in the elevators and they made people feel bad. You get rude looks using the elevator when there's a sign like that up, and enough people legitimately need it.

I hate the fact that you're downvoted. Reddit seems to think that most people who are fat are fat because of a disability, genetical disease or condition. Reality is people overeat and don't workout, and become fat.

I usually go up the escalator. Then run down the stairs. Then go up the escalator. Then run down the stairs. Then go up the escalator. Then run down the stairs. Then go up te escalator. Then I'm late for class.

not embarrassing, instructive. Informative. Suggestive. Plain good advice. Wish someone would cut the power steering belt of those cars that have them, so people would get a LITTLE exercise. Maybe delete ALL the close parking spaces so shoppers would have less to fight about... Christmas is coming, don't forget.
